Nina Turner compares the support Hillary has among Congress and groups to the support of slavery

[SaschaHM]

Sigh. Every damn day. A little background on this clip. Lawrence had Barney Frank and Nina Turner on tonight to debate their candidates. Barney began by stating how Hillary had the backing of the CBC, Planned Parenthood, HRC, Most of the Senate and much of the House. Nina's response... well see for yourself.

"There was a time in this country when the majority of folks thought slavery was ok, too"

You cannot make this up.

[Firebrand Gary]

1. Yep, that was one dumb ass statement!

Barney called her out on it too... smh

[robbedvoter]

2. Just as Tim Robbins compares SC to Guam and Hillary supporters with sheep

they are all out of control as their candidate implodes at the Daily News http://bluenationreview.com/bernie-admits-not-thinking-through-how-to-break-up-big-banks/

[SunSeeker]

4. Thanks for the link. I see Sanders never really thought about how he would break up the banks.

That Daily News interview shows Sanders is just clueless. Scarey really. He has no real plans, he just relies on demagoguery ... like Trump.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

18. This part of that Daily News article

Jaw dropping -

Daily News: Okay. You saw, I guess, what happened with Metropolitan Life. There was an attempt to bring them under the financial regulatory scheme, and the court said no. And what does that presage for your program?

Sanders: It’s something I have not studied, honestly, the legal implications of that.

No need to think it through if you know you're NEVER going to be president, right?

Can't dive deep into his own policies, he's busy running for president.
Can't put together past and current tax return, he's busy running for president.

Hey Bernie, you know that the Presidency is pretty much a multi-tasking position right?

[glowing]

26. Apparently, that ruling is one week old and transcripts are unavailable.

Media spinning around making you think the old man is a crazed, uninformed, dreamer...

[HillareeeHillaraah]

35. Are we to assume that he wasn't following the case?

I know, he's too busy running for president.

Did he have no opinion as to its outcome? The issue is key to his platform. It seemed ill-advised that he wasn't ready for some form of that question.

Not exactly Presidential qualities exhibited there...

[pandr32]

32. Especially when he states clearly as a promise...

"I will break up the Big Banks."

[HillareeeHillaraah]

36. Exactly

'Presidential' is having something ready to say...
'Presidential' is knowing your positions deeply enough that you can converse beyond talking points
- like Hillary does, for example

Especially as it concerns your number one campaign issue!

[pandr32]

40. It is mind numbing how he would not have particulars

...at this point in the race. He has made "breaking up the banks" a central campaign issue. Clearly his whole campaign is a sham.
He does nothing to help other Dems get elected, either.
He should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail--figuratively--of course!
What is the matter with his supporters?

[SunSeeker]

3. Nina Turner has lost her mind.

I watched that exchange and Barnie Frank said, "That last comment just baffles me, it's going to take me a week to figure out what that was supposed to mean..."

Indeed.

[FarPoint]

5. She had potential....

After a brief term in the Ohio General Assembly and following several spots on MSNBC, Ohio saw that she was a bit to full of uncontrollable rage.. She is an embarrassing sort.

[SunSeeker]

7. Yes. I mean, she basically said John Lewis was like a slaver.

[stopbush]

9. Agreed. She's an embarrassment, and a publicity hog as well.

She has the distinction of being an unnuanced voice that always ends up the losing side. Her support of BS is just the latest in a line of losing causes she's backed.

[LiberalFighter]

43. She is an angry one.

[Peace Patriot]

6. I thought Nina Turner was great! Strong, clear, kick-ass advocate for Sanders!

Barney was just bloviating. Not convincing at all.

Turner was talking about a Congress WITH AN 8% APPROVAL RATING. And the majority of the Democratic corporate congressional critters support Clinton. No surprise there. Slavery also had majorities of corrupt congress critters at one time. Perfectly apt analogy. We are now all slaves to the Wall Street banksters and transglobal corporations that call all the shots in Washington DC. Is it right? NO! They buy elections and congress critters. Is it right? NO! No surprise at all that their congress critters would be behind the Goldman Sachs candidate.

[SunSeeker]

8. No. She likened the Congressional Black Caucus/John Lewis to SLAVERS.

That is so offensive and unhinged.

BTW, this is the Hillary Group.

[Cha]

14. Totally and it's not the first one she's offended like that.. right from the get go she made it

clear why she went over to the BS side.

Hillary Won OHIO!

[SunSeeker]

15. Yup, Nina sure didn't deliver Ohio for Bernie.

Nina can't even get herself elected in Ohio.

Which reminds me. A lot of Ohio Dem women who were long time Hillary supporters worked their butts off to help Nina in her Sec of State run in Ohio. Then she stabbed them in the back by flipping from Hillary to Bernie. When they told her they were disappointed she went with Bernie, Turner went into a rage and said something like "I'm not your slave!" She was so offensive...and clueless. Not only did she fail to express any gratitude for their hard work, but she called them racists to boot.

[Cha]

16. Wow.. wait to hyperbolically take offense. She so belongs with BS. Disgusting.

Which reminds me that Marcy Kaptur didn't deliver Ohio for sanders, either.

[sheshe2]

45. You beat me~

[Cha]

48. Hey, she~

[sheshe2]

50. I got home late....

I got one tonight anyway.

[stopbush]

10. You're in the wrong group. Please delete your post.

[Cha]

13. PP is gone.

[Cha]

12. "There was a time in this country when the majority of folks thought slavery was ok, too" Nope,

Nina is just another "bloviating" surrogate for Sanders.. tying to demean Hillary and those who support Hillary.

They have nothing but sickening insults.. just like Sarandon and tim robbins.

Besides that.. Hillary Won Ohio!

[Rose Siding]

19. lol Bernster's in that 8% approval Congress, not Hillary

You lose.

[SunSeeker]

31. Yup. Sanders is one of the Do Nothings. nt

[pandr32]

33. Yep, and on his own, too

He is an Independent there. Even though he "caucuses" with Dems he has won no Senate support.

[TexasTowelie]

11. The statement caught my immediate attention even before

Barney Frank responded.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. The stupid is strong with this one

[liberal N proud]

20. WTF

[Thinkingabout]

21. They don't have a positive agenda to talk about from sanders so they

Have to rely on a negative dirty campaign, a Rovian manner. We can talk about Hillary's realistic agenda but as I am thinking even if Sanders had Hillary's agenda he does not have her presidential presentation, she has a complete package. Have to admit Frank had the best candidate to work in this exchange.

[misterhighwasted]

22. She should be a Fox Newz spokesmodel

Wtf was that even about?
People with no clue can say anything on the TeeVee.
Nasty low blow dog whistle there Nina.

How damn embarrassing

[mcar]

23. Why is it so difficult for BS supporters to comprehend

that many people have chosen to support Hillary? I honestly do not get this.

[romana]

29. Victimhood culture

Sanders entire campaign is about how we're all victims. Victims of Wall Street. Victims of banks. Victims of a corrupt political system. So of course, anyone who chooses to support Clinton has to be forced into that Victimhood narrative, somehow. Stockholm Syndrome, master/slave mentality, sheep...

It's a deeply negative campaign.

[mcar]

30. It is very negative

[Her Sister]

24. Am really loving it when BS surrogates speak!

The more they speak the more they do him and his campaign in!! More coverage please! Very attractive and charming and convincing people! LOOOOOOOVE THEM!!!!


HRC GROUP WE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO READY! LOL!

[Cha]

27. I know, right?! they're like this chorus of wannabe do gooders who have not one fucking clue

how much damage they're causing the BS campaign.

I love it!

[Her Sister]

28. HAHA! Why am I putting so much energy into vetting BS!

When we can just let his surrogates and supporters speak for themselves!! Man oh Man!
Tell me more, surrogates! Do you wanna talk about it? Just talk about whatever you want. Let it all out!


Am ready!
So ready for Her!

[grossproffit]

25. FFS! It's like a cult.

[Walk away]

34. Nina Turner has lost her mind. I guess this will put an end to her...

career in the Democratic party. I hope her new job as a "pundit" is to her liking.

[Setsuna1972]

37. That's really sad

To see someone like her repeat that same dog whistle line to insult people of color for not choosing Bernie...

[HillareeeHillaraah]

38. Imagine the outrage

If a Hillary spokesperson uttered something as offensive....it'd be wall-to-wall BREAKING NEWS all damn day

[SharonClark]

42. Yep

[Hekate]

39. Yeah, I heard that. Next she'll reference Stockholm Syndrome.

[Tarheel_Dem]

41. I don't see how Nina helps BS. She lost her own race for SoS in OH, and BS lost the primary there.

Much like her cohort, Dr. West, she certainly isn't speaking for the AA community, and if past is prologue, we're not even listening.

[Sparkly]

44. "Bernie-Splainin'"

(I'm sure you all saw this...)

[Her Sister]

55. ahhh!!

If only black people knew more, understood better, where the candidates stood — now and over their lifetimes — they would make a better choice, the right choice. The level of condescension in these comments is staggering.

Thanks for link!

[bluestateguy]

46. Nina Turner is so overrated

What is such a big deal about this former state legislator and failed statewide candidate?

She's like an overrated ballplayer.

Brandon Phillips comes to mind.

[DemonGoddess]

47. I loved Barney's response to her

about the "slavery" statement.

[Cha]

49. What did he say?..

[DemonGoddess]

53. He said it was going

to take him a week to untangle that rant and figure out what the hell she was trying to say.

[Cha]

54. Thanks, DG~

[UMTerp01]

51. What a stupid thing to say

Its fine to be a surrogate for Bernie but now I have no sympathy for any backlash she gets. Thats a dumb ass comment.

[Cha]

52. Incredibly so.. they've written us off as "sheeple"n & "slave mentality" but BSr's are proclaiming

we need to be nice to them because we might need.

The hypocrisy is off the charts.
